Abstract:
For the obliteration of the mastoid cavity, we used 3 kinds of flaps: an dermo-musculo-aponeurotic flap, the musculo- aponeurotic component with a superior or inferior pedicle, and the Hong Kong flap. Rebuilding the posterior wall of external canal: the posterior wall is rebuilt by skin or by cartilage of the auricle. Reconstruction of the middle ear transformer: ossiculoplasty, myringoplasty. The obliteration of the mastoid cavity by aponeuro-muscular flaps is a simple technique. It can be carried out widely at all local hospitals but it is very important to have dry mastoid cavity after operation. The obliteration is done not only at the 1st stage of mastoidectomy but also at the 2nd stage
